The cost of running a car.....

[smellytofu]

I run of the theory of $10/100km in fuel. Rego and insurance... well, it all depends on how much I drive to reduce this cost per km. It's probably around 30-40¢/km but I don't want to know. I'll look more into it on the next car I buy.

[VQ304]

I always thought my Statesman cost a bit to run, worked it out just then though...

Total repairs per km
$0.06

Total running (rego, fuel, servicing, insurance) per km
$0.21

Total cost per km
$0.27

[itsnotagsr]

I think the more relevant issue is costs/income. In Q's case this is 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000.

For the rest of us its a slightly more pessimistic number

Thats just to make me feel guilty right? Best you not add up the Boxster figures!

[ViNcEnXo]

I can extrapolate how much my 200SX will cost over the next 6 months.

Running costs: Tyres, petrol etc:
$0.00/km

Rego/Insurance
$725.00/km

I really should de-register and uninsure it hey.... It's in storage.

[GSRman]

hehe well

$550 - fuel
$230 - rego
$80 - insurance
$50 - car cost

16.5c / km including the car...

Quite often I am asked how expensive is it to maintain the Porsche.
Fair question.
I have always considered them cheap to maintain [given their cost]

Today I had opportunity to total my maintenance costs on the 993TT over a 2.5 year & 22 000km period.

COST PER KM - Maintenance & warranty costs only
$0.62c

COST PER KM - Running Costs - incl maint, petrol, rego, insurance
$1.00 [freaky !]

COST PER KM - Modifications :p & Running Costs
$2.10 :oh:

On a brighter note, it cost me only 84c for each run I did down the 1/4 mile....... :p

Nice work Q but you haven't taken into account the financing costs of the vehicle. I know you said you didn't lose on depreciation but were you paying a lease / chp on it? Even if you paid cash, it's important to take into account the 'opportunity cost' of having all those funds tied up in a car.

That is the real cost of expensive vehicles.

yeah but he was driving a carrera s, so his money was earning him the driving experience.

its a high yeild investment you see.

[Cplus]

it wasn't a carrera, it was a 993TT.

[Morgs]

OK I got some bad figures. Based on how many KM I've driven the car.

COST PER KM - PURCHASE PRICE ONLY
$3.30

COST PER KM - Running Costs - incl maint, petrol, rego, insurance, minor bits
$0.85

COST PER KM - Modifications
$2.5

COST PER KM - TOTAL ALL SPENT TO DATE & TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELLED
$5.85

I don't think Q's income is anything spectacular in comparison to many other members on this forum.

the thing was freaky - down the highway, cc set on 110 -120 = 8.8L/100km :oh:
much better than standard.
when given a hard time, that increased to 16 - 18L/100km

itsnotagsr
yeah, good on ya

T99
agreed, I wont

ViNcEnXo
why is the S14 in storage ?

GSRman
car cost $50 ! :D

SPDRCR
I deliberately did not include finance costs, too much of a mind f**K :p

I would probably freak out if i did the calc on the 575
...then I wouldn't want to put km on it because I would know the exact cost per km
...then i would be keeping the km's off it [like everyother ferrari driver]
...then it would occur to me that my cost per km was now actually higher
...then I would have to drive it less
...then it would occur to me that my cost per km was now actually higher
...then I would have to drive it less
...then it would occur to me that my cost per km was now actually higher
...then I would have to drive it less
...then it would occur to me that my cost per km was now actually higher
...then I would have to drive it less

Too many cars at home, counting all the cars stored offsite, we have 7 cars. 3 of us can drive.

We only have 4 cars at home at any time. So I'm playing with the MX5 at the moment and tucked the 200 to bed. I'll bring it out to play every now and then.
